Gu Chun shouted in a deep voice: "Is there anything you shouldn't say? Say it quickly."
Han Yong glanced at Gu Qian and said in a deep voice: "Master, Yongzhi actually doubts in his heart that this fire was caused by Li Hui and the others. He did not abscond because he was afraid of taking responsibility, but he had to escape after setting the fire.
escape."
"What?" Gu Chun said in shock.
"That's nonsense!" Gu Qian also yelled.
Han Yong smacked his lips and said: "Dongweng thinks it's nonsense, so Yongzhi won't say it anymore. Yongzhi is stupid, maybe he thinks too much. Yongzhi deserves to die."
Gu Chun said coldly: "I want you to tell me whether it is nonsense or not. You will know after listening to it. You must have your own reasons, right?"
Han Yong gritted his teeth and said: "The head of the family allows Yongzhi to say it, so Yongzhi doesn't care about anything. Of course Yongzhi will not make random guesses, but has his own reasons. This boy from the Li family, Yongzhi had doubts about him from the beginning. Yongzhi asked
Mr. Li Hui, who attended the private school, all said that Li Hui was withdrawn and unsociable when he was studying in the private school. He always seemed full of resentment and made rude remarks. He had conflicts with various princes in the family, and even threatened to take revenge..."
Gu Chang suddenly interjected from the side: "Yes, yes, that's right. Gu Yun and I were joking with him once, but this bitch got so anxious that he threatened to kill both of us. We were so scared that we didn't dare to talk to him anymore.
Talk. This slave is like a mad dog that cannot be messed with. He always looks at us with strange eyes. Ah Weng, we all feel that he seems to be scheming something all the time."
Before Gu Chun could speak, Gu Qian said in a deep voice: "What does it mean when children and teenagers are fighting and causing conflicts? How can it be used as evidence that he set the fire? Isn't it ridiculous?"
Han Yong said: "Dong Weng, Yongzhi is just talking about his words and deeds, not based on them. What Yongzhi means is, Li Hui was such a person before, how could he suddenly change so much? That time he suddenly took the initiative to do something for
The owner shared his worries and came up with a way to divert water for irrigation. This is naturally a good thing, but don't you think it's strange? How could he suddenly come up with such a wonderful idea? With his talent, age and experience, it's simply impossible
He has such ability. He was obviously guided by others. Who was guiding him behind the scenes and letting him come forward? To win Dong Weng's trust? This is intriguing."
Gu Qian sneered and said: "Just because you can't think of it doesn't mean that others can't think of it. What you mean is that he was instructed by others to win my trust and stay with me, and he wants to harm me? It's ridiculous."
Han Yong said: "Dong Weng may think it's funny, but in Yongzhi's opinion, it's not funny at all. My Gu family is a wealthy family in the south. How many people are jealous and jealous, and how many people want to see something happen to our Gu family. No one knows who has enmity overtly or covertly.
How much. Who knows if there are people who have tried their best to deal with my Gu family and tried every means to destroy my Gu family? No one is sure."
Gu Chun nodded and said: "What you say may not be unreasonable. In this situation, we should consider all possibilities."
Gu Qian opened his mouth, but finally swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Master, Yongzhi's judgment is not just because of these. Then Li Hui was favored by Dong Weng this time and was responsible for patrolling and guarding the manor during the harvest. Dong Weng strictly ordered them to prevent fire and theft on the day of harvest, and asked them to strengthen patrols and guards.
However, Li Hui and others had neglected their duties for more than half a month and had fun every day. They did not take Dong Weng's instructions to heart at all. Their behavior aroused the anger of the tenants and everyone in the manor, and they complained extremely.
Big." Han Yong said solemnly.
Gu Chun said angrily: "Is this really true?"
Han Yong said: "If there is even half a lie, Yongzhi is willing to accept any punishment. The head of the family can ask everyone in the manor, they are outside. Manager Lu will bring a few villagers in and tell the head of the house the truth."
Lu Fang came in with seven or eight tenant farmers and kowtowed on the ground. He shouted: "Lu Fang, the steward of East Lake Manor, led all the tenant farmers in the manor to kowtow to the owner of the house."
Gu Chun waved his hand and shouted: "Lu Fang, is what Manager Han said true?"
Lu Fangyi shouted angrily: "It's completely true. The old slave will guarantee it with his life. The old slave also asked Mr. Han to negotiate with Li Hui and others."
Gu Chun asked other people, and the seven or eight tenants also started to complain and reported the situation truthfully. They said that Li Hui and his gang were too lazy to eat and sleep, and did not conduct inspections at all. The villagers spontaneously organized a manpower night inspection
Inspections and other matters were reported to Gu Chun.
Gu Chun's face was extremely gloomy, and he waved Lu Fang and the people to retreat. Then he asked Han Yong: "Since you discovered the inaction of Li Hui and others, and you went to negotiate again, why did you still condone him? Is it right?
Did you report it to your master?"
Han Yong said in a deep voice: "The head of the family didn't know something. Yongzhi did go to negotiate with Li Hui and asked him to perform his duties. However, Li Hui said that I had no control over him. Li Hui said that he was from Dong Weng, how could he
It’s not my turn to tell you what to do. He said that even if Dong Weng makes trouble, he won’t be afraid. Because Dong Weng respects him, Dong Weng will never blame him. He can do whatever he wants."
"You dog slave! This dog slave! How dare you be so arrogant? Who gave him the courage?" Gu Chun slapped the armrest of Shougong's chair and cursed.
"Master of the family, calm down. Master of the family, calm down." Han Yong shouted.
"Qianzhi, do you know all these things?" Gu Chun asked angrily.
Gu Qian frowned and said, "Han Yong, why didn't you report it to me? I know nothing about this."
Han Yong smacked his lips and said: "Dong Weng, I was so busy up and down at that time, how could Yong Zhi have any free time? Besides, even if Yong Zhi reported Dong Weng, would Dong Weng believe my words? Dong Weng was very proud of that guy.
I don't even care about the fact that he broke into the inner house of the South House secretly and hid Miss Qingning's silk handkerchief, what else can I say? The reason why Li Hui dared to be so arrogant...isn't it because of Dong Weng?"
When these words came out, everyone in the room was immediately shocked. Gu Qian's face changed drastically, and his eyes showed a sharp look. He never expected that Han Yong would dare to say this in public. His cheeks were trembling, and his expression was extremely angry.
.
But the one who seemed the most shocked was Gu Chun. He stood up and shouted: "Han Yong, what did you say? Li Hui's slave broke into the inner house of Nanzhai secretly? Hiding Qingning's personal belongings? Is this serious?"
With a sneer on his lips, Han Yong said in a deep voice: "How dare Yongzhi talk nonsense about this kind of thing. The eldest son witnessed it with his own eyes that day. The head of the family might as well ask the eldest son to know the clues."
…
On a hillside more than forty miles southwest of Wu County, an old cow was grazing leisurely on the hillside.
There is a sparse forest on the top of the hillside. The wind on the hillside is strong, blowing in waves, making the small forest make a rustling sound.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and several figures stooped up from the southern hillside and got into the woods. They sat down on the wet grass, took out dry food and water and began to eat and drink.
A young man with rumpled clothes and messy buns spoke in a low and unclear voice while chewing dry pancakes.
"Are you confident? There are twelve of them, and we only have six. Can we succeed?"
The tall and fat man said in a deep voice: "Little Master Li Hui, if you hadn't stopped us, we would have taken action just now. What are the twelve afraid of? Just those guys, Dachun and I just climbed down from them.
all."
"That's right, you're asking the wrong question. What does it mean to have confidence? Who have I, Guo Dazhuang, been afraid of? As long as you, the young man, tell me to do something, in the blink of an eye, those people will be lying on the ground chewing mud." The other man was tall and tall.
The fat man also said.
"Hehehe." The boy and the other three men all laughed.
These six people were Li Hui and the five nurses from Nanzhai. At midnight yesterday, Li Hui set out with the five nurses and drove the bullock cart to follow the convoy that stole food. They arrived at noon until noon.
here.
Not far from the southern slope of this hillside is a small river called Baigou River that leads to Taihu Lake. Li Hui and others found that the team transporting grain stopped beside the Baigou River and began to unload.
A large amount of grain was carried down and piled in a small house among the reeds by the river. Then all the grain trucks scattered and disappeared.
Not long ago, Li Hui and others were observing from a distance in the grass on the south slope, and found that there were still more than ten people guarding the grain storage area. Then he led everyone back to the woods to discuss countermeasures.
"Zhao Dachun, Guo Dazhuang, don't brag. Although you two are very powerful, there are more than a dozen strong men. Maybe there are real guys in your hands. Can you two succeed? Xiaolangjun, don't listen to them.
Two nonsense."
"That's it. Let me see, we have found the place where the food thief hid the food. We should have gone back to report to Dong Weng and brought people to get the people. There is no need to risk our lives. Mr. Li Hui, you think so?
no?"
The guards Chen Si and Niu Er said with a smile. They didn't want to go head-to-head with these thieves, that would not be fun.
Zhao Dachun and Guo Dazhuang were a little angry and were about to retort when they heard Li Hui speak.
"Go back and report? Is it too late? They transported the grain to the river to be transported by boat. There is no guarantee that the ship will come to load the goods soon. When we go back to report and come back, there will be nothing. When we arrive,
What should I do when the time comes?”
Niu Er hurriedly said: "I'm just saying this, Xiaolangjun, you make the decision. You can do whatever you say."
Li Hui said in a deep voice: "The current situation is very clear. Someone colluded with outsiders to steal the food of the manor. You all know who it is. We are responsible for guarding the manor. Now the food has been smuggled away. If we can't take it back, how can we?
Everyone must die. Moreover, if we leave now, everyone will think that we did it. If we go back now, we will be arrested if we can't enter the city. Now we have only one way, which is to take back the food and catch this person.
As a gang of thieves, follow the clues and identify the thieves within the Gu family. Then we can atone for our sins. Do you understand?"
Several nursing staff nodded and said: "I understand, I understand."
Li Hui glanced at a few people and said: "Of course, I don't force you to risk your life. If you are afraid of death, you can escape now. As long as you think you can escape the pursuit of the master and the government, you can hide tightly for the rest of your life.
That's it. Whoever is afraid of death should stand up now."
Niu Er opened his mouth, but when he saw that no one around him spoke, he quickly shut up.
